Linka Moja

Wikipedia Genre:  No Wikipedia - alternative/indie
Home: Lake Tahoe

Poster Position: Bottom Quarter - Line 21
Weekend One Only
Friday.

Thoughts:  "All my mistakes are a work of art" is an excellent first line.  I've kept this playing today for way too long.  I say that not because it is bad, but because she only has like ten songs and so I have heard them all so many times by now.  I like it though, a low-key pure rock and roll experience.

He website bio is one of those trash things talking about how her influences allow her to think outside the box and find synergies in fresh thinking about classic styles and blah blah blah.  Another article says she is from Lake Tahoe - I am going there tomorrow for the first time!  synergies!  She wrote her first song at age 12 as a birthday gift for her father.  That is nice.  She kept at it as a form of journaling in high school.  She definitely has a classic rock/alternative rock bend to her tunes, and I like it.

No real albums.  Her top single is "Blood Orange," from the 2023 single for "Told You So."  397k streams.

She says that guitar is a cruddy little nylon thing her mom bought at a thrift store when she was ten.  I like the fast-paced sound before the chorus kicks in.  Very pretty song overall.  "Redline" on that same single is also good.  

At first, I rolled my eyes at the cover of "Where is My Mind," which has become a sort of "Hallelujah"-measuring stick for the coolness of an artist trying to make a signal to the hip public about their Pixie-itude or love for Tyler Durden.  But, she actually crushes it.  Let's go with her newest single, "Psycho" with 35k streams so far.

90's alternative buzz bin-worthy sound there with the quiet intro strummed right up into the crunchy, fuzzy bits.  Yeah, if I was there early on Friday, I'd check her out.
